Go Green?
23
A few friends and I have recently started a go green club at school. The response to this club was tremendous. Were trying to think of ideas on making our school and surrounding area eco-friendly. Our first few simple ideas were getting recycling bins for our school, decorating our courtyard with flowers, and replacing our regular sink faucets with motion censored ones. Were also planning on holding a volleyball tournament to raise money for a unicef/helping the enviroment type organization. Any ideas for organizations that we can become involved with or any ideas for our community or school would be greatly appreciated. thanks =)

pick up the crap that people leave at the beaches and stuff….fun plus going green!!!
we just started a recyling club at school and next to each garbage in the school is another blue one with the recycle sign on it…and there are signs above it saying what to throw in each, its pretty effective
u should have a teacher in the dunk tank thing..get an evil teacher everyone will come

u could use those energy saving bulbs even tho they r more toxic then regular bulbs if it cracks and its possible that u can die if u inhale the chemicals inside the bulb. well good luck with ur eco-friendly thing ^_^
Smoke Green!
First, I want to thank you for your great initiative! We need people like you, who actually do something and show others that “go green” is good, beautiful and healthy. That is so awsome!
There are so many cool things you can do! And you have already addressed a few of them.
**Promote waste-free lunches (once a month for example).
** I also suggest you contact Keep America Beautiful who are the ones that arranges the clean-ups in the spring and fall, but also has educational programs for schools and have, I am sure, lots of ideas for you.
** You could also contact the other schools go green or eco clubs. Together you can trade ideas and support.
** Work to minimize or stop the use of pesticides on your school grounds.
** Making a green map over your school or home town is another way to learn about the green resources in your area (and learn which ones are missing). Check out
** The Sierra Club is another great resource for go green things. They are local and have worked on the towns and county to sign a Cool Cities agreement. They have many ideas.
** Invite speakers from different environmental organizations to give a presentation at your school. There are plenty of them. I will put the list up on our website next week!
